9.00 Credits
Comparative morphology and biology of marine invertebrates with emphasis on field and laboratory studies. Representatives of all major and most minor phyla are collected, observed alive, and studied in detail. Not open for credit to students who have taken 433 or 434. Recommended: 20 credits in biological sciences. Offered: at Friday Harbor Laboratories; S.
-
5.00 Credits
Study of marine ecological processes such as recruitment, disturbance, competition, and predation, and their effects on the structure and diversity of marine communities. Weekend field trips to local intertidal habitats required. Offered: Sp, odd years.
Prerequisite:
either BIOL 356, BIOL 472, or a minimum grade of 3.4 in BIOL 180.
-

Prerequisite:
either BIOL 102, BIOL 202, or BIOL 220
-
5.00 Credits
Introduction to comparative biology of eukaryotic microbes known as protists (algae, certain fungi, and protozoa). Emphasis on the structure, reproductive characteristics, classification, phylogeny, physiology, development, biodiversity, and ecological roles of these microbes. Emphasis on examples most commonly used in contemporary biological research. Offered: irregularly.

Prerequisite:
BIOL 354
-
5.00 Credits
Evolution and biogeographic development of modern forest taxa and associations. Late Cenozoic forests (last 60 million years) of western North American environments, emphasizing geologic and climatic shifts that have shaped temperate and tropical vegetation. Three required weekend field trips. Offered: irregularly.

either BIOL 117, BIOL 317, or BOTANY 113 and either BIOL 102, BIOL 162, BIOL 180, or BIOL 203
-
5.00 Credits
Explores the technical questions (conceptual, sampling, and analytical), the rationale, policy relevance, and legal basis for tools — existing and needed — to assess ecological health. Prepares students to see the biological components of ecological systems in diverse ways. Offered: jointly with FISH 438.
-
5.00 Credits
